Dear Agileans,

Since 2013, Agile Greece has brought together people from the trenches. Practitioners sharing real experiences, lessons learned, and practical knowledge about how organizations can evolve.

Today, we believe it's time for another important conversation.
AI agents are no longer just tools. They're becoming part of how organizations work. But what does that really mean for our roles, decisions, responsibilities, and ways of working?

We're excited to bring this conversation to the Agile Greece community.

Join us for a 45-minute fireside conversation with two leaders bringing hands-on experience from their organizations:

• Michael Petychakis — CTO, Dialectica
• Costas Economopoulos — CEO, CUBE RM

Moderated by Yiannis Mavraganis, Founder of Agile Greece Community.
We'll explore what needs to change, what hasn't worked, and where organizations should start, followed by an open discussion and Q&A.

Venue Partner - Snappi Hub
The event will take place at Snappi Hub, the only physical touchpoint of Snappi, Greece's first ECB-licensed neobank.
Snappi Hub is a co-working and community space dedicated to financial well-being, learning and bringing together open-minded, curious people who want to make a difference and believe in a better future.

A big thank you to Snappi for generously hosting our event!

Best,

Agile Greece Team

We are happy to announce our next meetup that will be held physically at XM Offices in Athens. After the talk there will be time for Q&A, food and networking.

📍Location📍
Michalakopoulou 80 street, 1st floor.
Attendees should register with their meetup name at the entrance

⏰ Date & Time ⏰
3rd of December, 18:30

🔗 Prerequisites & Target audience 🔗
The talk is aimed at developers and tinkerers who have used AI tools, such as chat assistants, coding agents or APIs, and have run into their limits. You don’t need to be an expert. If you have ever watched an LLM skip a step, you’ll feel right at home.

🇬🇷 Language 🇬🇧
The talk will be in Greek unless otherwise requested.

📃 Agenda 📃
18:30 - Intro, Agenda of meetup
18:35 - A message from our sponsor - XM
18:40 - "You’re Absolutely Right, I Missed This”: Build an LLM Pipeline That Works, by Thanos Nokas
19:45 - Pizza, kindly offered by XM 🍕

🎤 About the talk 🎤
You write a clear prompt with a clear checklist. The model skips step 4, and when you point it out, it replies “You are absolutely right, I missed this.”
A prompt is a request, not a guarantee. The model will never be deterministic, but the process around it can be. This talk shows how to move control out of the prompt and into code, so every required step happens, every time.
What we’ll cover:

• Why LLMs skip steps, and why a better prompt isn’t the fix
• Splitting what the model decides from what the pipeline enforces
• Gates and validation: schemas, tests and builds as pass/fail checks
• Reviews that can’t be skipped or self-approved
• Handling failures and proving afterwards that every step ran

You’ll leave with practical patterns you can apply to your own agents and automations.
